Eating Out

So my best friend hit me up after class today and asked me if I wanted to go and grab something to eat with him. This is my first team eating out since I have started this diet. Hopefully I get something really healthy and filling with a low calorie count.

Besides that, I discovered today how filling those almonds can be. I ate 8 almonds after class because I'm starving and the cafeteria wasn't open yet(which I won't be going to since I'm going out to eat) and within minutes my hunger pangs went away. I have to ask my mom to send me some more of those almonds! They're raw and that's honestly the way almonds and cashews taste best to me. They both taste kind of sweet, almonds tasting a little like coconut even.

Good Morning....Internet

I'm up bright and early today! I just came back from the gym and I was feeling a little light-headed this morning so I only got  to 21 minutes on the elliptical before I got off. It said that I burned 235 calories in those 21 minutes so I'm pretty content with that. I'm gonna get to my daily bowl of oatmeal now before I faint out of hunger!

Edit: Totally forgot to tell you that the scale said I weigh exactly 175 pounds without my shoes.

Again?

Yes, I'm updating twice in one day. Remember the early days when I used to update more than once a day? Me neither. Seems like so long ago. Anywho, I just came back from the gym. I weighed myself with my shoes on before workout and the scale said 178.something. I can't remember what it said. I did 45 minutes on the elliptical at resistance level 5 and I burned 558.5 calories. Woohoo!!! If I do this everyday, I can burn at least a pound of fat off every week just through working out, not even considering my diet. Then I played a little basketball for 30 minutes and came back to tell you everything I did. Oh, and I weighed myself after I got off the elliptical and I weighed 176.2 without my shoes. I think this is my actual weight now. And funny fact for the day: When I tell people I weigh almost 180 pounds, no one believes me. They're convinced the scale is broken and I can't weigh more than 150-160 pounds. Well I do, and that's that. I think having size 36G breasts can weigh down a person quite a bit.

Edit: I just found out that 36G breasts weigh about 5 pounds each. So let's subtract 10 pounds from my current weight to see what the rest of my body weighs and we get....... 166.2 pounds. Ok, so maybe that's why people can't believe how much I weigh. I can't wait until I weigh 166 or less. I'm gonna work my butt off(literally...ok maybe not. I have a pretty nice normal butt.) to get there. Hope all my weight loss dreams come true!!!

New Diet, New Me

Hey guys!
I'm back for real this time!!! So I've started on a new and improved healthy diet. I'm eating lots of fruits and vegetables, I'm getting protein and a few carbs. A typical day goes something like this:

OMG!!! Slacker!!

Sooo...I am such a slacker!!! I haven't posted in almost 2 months! I have been slacking both on here and on my workout. I'm gonna get back into working out and eating healthy. I was totally gonna give up sugar again, but since it's summer and I eat popsicles to eat cool, I'd have to switch to water popsicles, essentially ice. But I know I gained a couple of pounds back, so I'm going to eat healthy and workout again while working on growing out my hair in my Hide Your Hair Challenge. I will try to keep up with my food journal on here and tell you all about my weight loss and any setbacks that occur. Love you all!!!

May 3, 2010 - Lunch

Soooo....I'm back on sugar!!!!! I totally forgot to take pics of my lunch, so I'm uploading generic pics instead.

I'm back!!!

Hey guys!!! I've been missing in action lately, but I'm back now!!! I'll be returning to my daily workouts, with the addition of weights, which I've been keeping up with because of my weight training class. So Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays are weight days, mainly because I have weight training class scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are strictly cardio days. I've missed the gym so much while I was sick. And I promise to keep up with the food journal. See you soon!!
